whatever happened to sunday tv sports

whatever happened to sports on tv?... the two primary 24 hours sports stations on sunday in the middle of football and basketball seasons have billiards and the world series of poker… the four network stations have a minor off-road racing event, a repeat of some show called pandora’s unforgettable moments on ice, local programming (a B movie) and a local football game… that’s it, as at least a couple of dozen or so football and basketball games are being played around the country on this sunday afternoon, there’s a guy who looks like he has a hard-on skating around on ice while another guy hums silent night and another guy plays a violin and that, alas, is sports sunday on tv in america these days… unless, i guess, you have the premium sports packages or head to a sports bar)…

all it takes to have the well connected social life in this world is lots of money... just like everything else... and money has so little value for me personally... no wonder why i don't fit in, aye?...

worse and worse

google dot com, google.com, the google corporation, more and more is becoming as unpleasant to deal with as the microsoft corporation… the way microsoft tries to control everything you do with their software as if they own your computer, google is trying to control everything you do with the web and our only alternative is to toss the pc and avoid the google site (and all the subsidiaries) and see if the apple corporation, the macintosh apple software, and the blogging software that is out there will allow the freedom that google and microsoft do not…

yeah, maybe tomorrow, when i've got more time to learn and explore and more money to invest in computers...

microsoft sucks

yes, back to the same old complaint dominating the computer age, microsoft sucks... currently, microsoft vista sucks the big one as i returned home more than an hour ago all excited to write and lifted the laptop lid and found windows vista non-responsive and worse, it's taken more than an hour to shut it down and re-boot it, which is just a level of suckage beyond reasonable acceptable consumer standards... and worse, microsoft windows vista sucks because it is not compatible with my virus software and the laptop computer software put on by toshiba which leads me to toshiba sucks and kaspersky sucks too... and while we're at it, sun microsystems java sucks because it's regularly demanding i click on an update reminder and almost every time it tells me the operation failed or can't run which is again suckages by the microsoft corporation and the sun microsystems corporation and the toshiba corporation and the kaspersky corporation because they fail to provide compatible software on a computer toshiba and microsoft put together as a package sold at best buy, so best buy sucks too for selling suck a stupid non-compatible time-wasting computer...

fuck them all for the rip of and time wasted...

addicted to the online escape

facebook is appalled! (or is it appalling?)… I wish this complaint about the weak-willed people created by the child abuse so permeating this culture in the form of delusional religions and other drugs (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual crutches are handed to babies before they can walk, talk, or understand that they can make decisions and act on their own thoughts as the norm for the human species is to break the human spirit in infancy), but this will offend some and fall on deaf ears for most of the rest of you… you are sick, humanity, and you are not really getting any better…

hope enough of you wake up before extinction…

taco bull

yeah, that's taco bell bullshit in the title there... i should have known better than to go into the college taco belle, too many fast food joints and other food establishments right next to a university dish out crap because they assume most of their customers are drunk college kids, especially on saturday nights... so the XXL double beef chalupa was a great commercial for 'where's the beef'? because there was less beef in it than in the average taco from a decent taco place... most bits had no beef, so much for double beef... and the cheesy bean and rice burrito had no cheese or rice, just a smear of bean dip... by far, this was the worst taco bell food i've ever had...

so the receipt says tell us about your visit on a brief survey and i go to the website to take the survey and enter the store number and

We're sorry, but this restaurant is not collecting Web surveys at this time. We encourage you to call our toll-free phone number 1-888-731-9645 to share your opinions and enter the Sweepstakes.

of course, they probably get so many complaints about this particular location that they've turned off the survey for the store... great customer service there, taco bell bull...

i guess the universe was looking out for me... i've been wanting to try the double beef chalupa since it started being advertised and have tried it and instead of being a deliciously enjanced version of my favorite taco bell food, it sucked so bad i don't want to visit taco bell again... better for my health, the waisteline, and probably the earth...

bye bye taco bell, no more runs to the border for me...

crap microsoft vista

incompatibility when it does work, so bogged down by bugs and memory leaches like most microsoft software (trying to stay proprietary while pretending compatibility) that it takes ten times the memory just to breath...

so now the college bound football game as it is showing signs of freezing up and while that might have something to do with the virus scan that started running a few minutes before, i shut the game down and will hope for the best... not even three seasons into the game - it really sucks that microsoft vista screws up so many other great software programs and companies, like kaspersky anti-virus, for instance, which microsoft defender will not recognize or work with so i keep getting security warnings from the microsoft crap vista software even though kaspersky is working fine...

if only mac was not so expensive... or i had time to learn linux... or life was fair, aye?...

bright house disrespect

dang you bright house networks calling saturday morning to sell your crap product (if might not have been crap if you didn't wake me saturday morning) just to tell me you are reorganizing your hd channel line up (and i don't even watch hd tv cuz i have an old tv) so here i am awake unnaturally cuz i didn't fall back to sleep after the wake up call...

poor service sucks

went to giovanni's for dinner (yum, but the worst witress service we've ever had there as i had to ask for a refill for my drink several times {starting at the appetizer even though the empty glass was sitting right on the end of the table as a reminder} and the refill {one refill... i was considering going to the bar and asking for a drink} finally came at the end of dinner and she had to go find a straw cuz she forgot to bring one and she served another table and returned and forgot the straw... she didn't even acknowledge the poor service... very surprising to have such neglect of service at that place... waited so long for the drink there was no mood for dessert and the worst thing of all was no apology at all as she asked if we wanted dessert or anything else and wished us a good night... clueless waitresses are the bane of dining out and this was after 8pm, so the mad dinner rush was over and the place was 3/4 empty... so there's the first major strike against our favorite neighborhood place), which was a bummer but stopping for dessert elsewhere brought the sweet dining out on my favorite foods mood back...

something about humans

yeah, people are so stuck in the fear that they choose ignorance and defend their ignorances to the death, making life a very unpleasant place for anyone wanting to open their mind and ejoy the relatively infinite possibilities of existence...

grown up, will ya?

so many more

i really have so many more complaints than i have time to complain about which leads to the lack of time complaint, which leads to the repetitive redundancy complain which leads to the booooring complaint, which can lead to the misuse of commas complaint, but that's beside the point, so i don't come here as often as i might if i had more time, though if i had more time i might have fewer complaints because i'd have more time to enjoy life...

not enough sex too...

truly meaningless complaint

if you are a taxpayer in the usa, you owe $119,913 to private banks and other countries... rich bankers in this country and others living in obscene luxury by are milking you dry while you struggle to pay your bills and taxes...

and children, what are children learning?... it is ok to go into debt for a few times your annual income and have nothing to show for it?...

anybody want to loan me $119,913 today?

the last resort

the eagles said it so well more than thirty years ago and we did not pay attention because, after all, they said it so well...

we satisfy our endless needs
and justify our bloody deeds
in the name of destiny
and in the name of god




maybe the most meaningless complaint of all... it is challenging to be aware i am part of a species so determined on committing suicide, knowing there are voices pointing this out, watching people ignore and continue destroying themselves and each other... the path to extinction if so obvious and yet, we steadfastly remain devoted to staying the course...

everybody has a price

and i am looking for someone who does not, so i must not believe the title, though it becomes more and more challenging to not believe the title with each passing year as i see person after person bought off by the holy dollar...

i wish that was not so...

fairness, not

we live in a country where people can make billions of dollars by taking thousands from millions of people (consumer goods) and then mismanage the money so the companies go bankrupt, but wait, the government will then take thousands from millions of people (taxes) and give it to the same billionaires who somehow mismanaged the money...

and does anybody really know where the money goes?...

and why the millions of people keep giving the thousands of dollars?...

free oil for everyone

free oil for everyone


The 'simple solutions' like hay and straw and other products look great in a small bowl or laboratory, but don't be naive, there's no strainer big enough to scoop millions of tons of soaked straw and hay out of the gulf and even if we somehow had that much hay and straw and a three hundred mile strainer, there's not enough ships in the navy to drag that much weight out of the water... the simple solution was to act swiftly and responsibly, but that was not in BP's interest... and don't look at the government, come on, did you forget katrina and new orleans already?...

government is condemned for over-regulating industry when they do anything before a disaster and then condemned for not cleaning up the mess industry makes after a disaster... responsibility is on the businessmen, their greed did this - and you and me - our dependency on luxuries, oil, and our lifestyles did this... we demand more oil, more energy, more consumer goods, and we don't want to see the costs to the planet nor the risks to ourselves in our blind attempt to have it all...

many people still do not want to see, as the flagging of videos on youtube demonstrates... but the only thing keeping our heads in the sand will do is get us covered in oil, or kicked in our up-in-the-air butts... great nations fall when the people stop caring enough to take responsibility and do the right thing... that's history, and we are living it... and we can only hope enough of us wake up in time to realize what we need to do to save ourselves...

money

What does the banking "industry" actually produce, I mean, we call it an "industry", right?... is it fair to ask why an "industry" that produces nothing is the most powerful business in the world?... how did we give the people who watch our moneythe power and profit they have?... what if we all just went to work, brought home our money, and kept it... '

Forbes rankings are atrociously obscene morally, ethically, and simply... the only businesses cracking the top 20 are the oil and gas monsters and the people who control how we communicate... oh, there is GE and Wal-Mart... and after these there come the utilities and insurance...

the most corrupt non-productive business, the money managers (banking and insurance) and the survival (utilities, energy, communications) take most of our money and perpetuate the ever growing gap between rich and poor, between those who will survive and those who will die earlier due to inadequate medical care or having to use inferior or dangerous products...

capitalism fails, in the end, as miserably as any other cultural structure for the same reason all others failed, human greed... while the pretentious human facade is love thy neighbor and give peace a chance, the real human remains cut throat, selfish, and ultimately, suicidal...

the human god is not love, the human god is money, power, and propriety...

for anyone paying attention

i would really like to figure out how to get the title centered and all of the reaction choices to show under each post and someday i might, but i explored the new blogger design features long enough for tonight and found no simple way to do either and i don't feel like exploring the html itself to find out if and how it might be done there...

feel free to share your knowledge of how-to if you are out there...

tv commercials

why do those in charge of tv commericals on television think that annoying people will endear their product to consumers... can madison avenue statistically prove that annoying people implants the product name in people's hads and that people are shallow/stupid/manipulatable enough to forget how annoyed they were when they are in a store and see the product that annoyed them?...

i refer to the way tv commercials in the middle of the night are several times louder than the regular programming they interrupt/sponser... so annoying, i want to tear the product up when i see it in the store because, go figure, i don't forget how annoying the commercial was...

maybe i'm just different...

bright house, not

the screen is grey-black, the phone says the network is busy, the website says my email address is not valid (yet i have plenty of email from them, including confirmation that my bill was auto-paid for this month, so they have no problem taking my money), the chat with support doesn't work, the email support is not responded to (at least not today), and so, i pay $2 a day for tv and it is not working today... i expect a $2 refund, plus time spent due to the broken website, phone service, and my judgment for using their crappy service...

people

especially people who call themselves friends, but do not actually care enough to be friends, to care about my feelings, or to even keep in touch... people are so disappointing, guess that is why they pretend to care and go through the motions each day to maintain relationships...

and hundreds of thousands of words shared, what comes of the time and energy given to people who throw the words out or bury them somewhere... so why continue?... for the love of words... for the hope of finding a true friend who will make the time spent sharing with all the others worthwhile...

not so much a complaint, but a sigh of acceptance and hope :}

political complaints (they are sadly too easy)



this is why politicians, especially old ingrained politicians, scare me

...

and sometimes leave me speechless... it is not just republicans, though the old republicans do say some of the scariest things and seem to have their heads somewhere so out of touch with actual life that, well, of course the planet will recover, and if humans continue, the planet will make humans extict just like the dinosaurs and every other species that lost touch with natural life and the planet...

that's not a disaster, right, human extinction?...

not for the planet.

who is Don Young, Rep. Alaska?...

When John McCain asked Young to give up money earmarked for Alaska to help the rebuilding effort from Hurricane Katrina, Young replied that Katrina victims "can kiss my ear!"

not just insensitive and out of touch, but criminal...

invest $40,000 in a politician, get $10,000,000 plus in return

corruption?

The investor was reportedly Daniel Aronoff, son of Arnold Aronoff, who, in 1979, was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to mail fraud in a scheme to sell Florida swampland at an inflated price. His son found another way, politics as usual, to attempt to increase the value of his Florida swampland by buying a politician.

"It's very possible people ought to go to jail," said Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, which oversees highway funding.

The worst part of this was that the congressional bill earmarking the ten million dollars did not include this appropriation when it passed the congress and senate. The bill was changed by the Alaskan Representative between the floor of congress and the signing by President Bush. Congress and the Senate never voted to approve the money, Young slipped it in secretly. Does that make President Bush a criminal for signing in the conspiracy to defraud the taxpayers?

what happened after the 2008 call for a federal investigation?

The language requiring the Coconut Road investigation is clear: "Consistent with applicable standards and procedures, the Department of Justice shall review allegations of impropriety regarding item 462 in section 1934(c) of Public Law 109-59 to ascertain if a violation of Federal criminal law has occurred."

wish people

i wish people were more honest, open, reliable, believable, and real... i wish people kept their word, followed through on promises, and actualized the ideals of loyalty, integrity, devotion, faith, and trust seriously in the real world, with each other, and not just in a delusional bond with imaginary beings... i wish people understood the power of hope, the strength of being true to self and one's own ideals... i wish people knew the power of wishes, especially when we can make wishes come true...

i wish there were more wish people in my daily life...

katrina drowns new orleans, 2005

yeah, we all know the story... or do we?... did you know about hurricane pam?... pam that did the very same thing to new orleans in 2004 that hurricane katrina did in 2005... you can watch the video and learn a bit about hurricane pam... one year before hurricane katrina devastated, hurricane pam tore the city apart and flooded new orleans almost exactly as katrina did, in a computer simulation...

yes, scientists created a storm, hurricane pam, and entered all the facts they had about the lay of the land, the strength of the levees, where people lived, and all the known facts about the physical city of new orleans into a computer... and then they entered meteorological data for a storm and aimed it toward the city… levees failed and new orleans and surrounding lands ended up under water… the scientists told the government and army core of engineers and you know what they did...

nothing…

in every other arena, someone who has the power to save lives, knows lives could be lost if they do not act, and then do not act and lives are lost... they would be criminally libel for the deaths… I believe it is called criminally negligent manslaughter… the government is guilty of this, but no one holds those in charge who killed people through negligence accountable…

that simply sucks…

trust your government?... what may be worse is the news media, the noble fourth estate that loves to point fingers and dramatize human failure and claims to have a noble mission to tell people the truth, seemed to miss this atrocity… did they deliberately ignore the facts?...

all the news that’s fit to print?

sometimes, humans are nauseating...

people are so frustrating

especially friends who just disappear or simply stop communicating, even if it's just for a few days it is so frustrating, for me, at least, because i live in the moment and know any moment could be an eternity or the last moment i breath in this body and a few days could be how long it takes for someone to find my corpse if i died, especially over a weekend...

that is one reason the appeal of a compatible roommate appeals just a teeny bit more than the appeal of living alone, but it is not usually enough of a reason... helping or falling in love push the decision forward... i miss falling in love... so much...

but people are so frustrating also because they are so fear-driven and fear repels true love and i am made of true love, so do the math... it is a very lonely journey for one who is made of true love in this fear-based culture... i'd complain about loneliness, but that would be too meaningless even for this blog...

loneliness is another reason the appeal of a compatible roommate appeals just a teeny bit more than the appeal of privacy, but it is not usually enough of a reason... helping or falling in love push the decision forward... i miss falling in love... so much...

pretty weak complaint, huh?...

java is annoying

every day java wants to update and every time i turn off automatic updates in the java console it reverts back to automatic updates, totally annoying every reboot, every wake from sleep mode, way too annoying to be trusted or respected so sun microsystems joins the other too big for their own good crappy service companies that are tearing this country and humanity down...

does a better life, a more convenienct life, an easier life always have to come with petty annoyances and unnecessary stress?...

what is it?

no time?... of course there is no time, at least not enough time, especially when you choose to fill your life with stuff that leaves no time for the other stuff...

no one in the real daily life who really cares?... of course, that is what happens when you choose the suprficial and/or you choose to build walls, traps, mirrors, and every or any other diversions to avoid real intimacy, true trusting sharing, and honest love...

did i do that?... of course, and excused because you've been burned enough to justify doing it doesn't change the fact that it's done...

trapped?... of course, so not that you know...

what are you gonna do about it?...

another meaningless complaint?

not so bright house

to be continued when i have more time cuz i need sleep now, but bright house internet went dark on me tonight and the tech on the phone could not fix it so their answer is make an appointment for a cable guy to come out which is definitely not going to be routine as i am not going to give up my saturday for this... a year and a half with att aircard and while there were issues, the issues were resolved without my having to take time off work or stay home on weekends to wait for service techs...

i've heard about problems with bright house internet, but i figured i'd give them a chance... the only reason i didn't disconnect tonight is they gave me this month free...

ego's complaint

not to reference portnoy at all, not that i want to diminish his complaint, whatever it was, because everybody's got the right to complaint, after all (and you, yes you there, the one who found this post by searching for portnoy's complaint for some book report or whatever, yes you, you have the right to complain too, unless you plaig... plageriz... pla... cut and paste this witty missive into your report, in which case, you did it to yourself so you have nothing to complain about)...

but naturally, ego's complaint is you might be the only one who ever finds all the wonderful words and nonsense i've put on line and written for years, since the dawn of time, even, and i don't have any sort of massive following of crazed fans twittering and tossing underwear (or their cookies, chocolate chip please) at their computers as if i could see (hey, turn on your webcams before you do that sort of thing, aye?) all about how wonderfully in love they are with my amazing cleverness and lovely way with words...

i don't have time for the time it takes to grow an audience of nubile young innocents and their mothers of text phone junkies who worship the written word (i had more written word worshippers in the eighties before al gore and rocky invented the internet, after all)...

i mean, i'm not craig ferguson, but i do have a quip or two worth noticing now and then... and ego, of course, believes i should have millions of ranting and raving fans waking each morning to rush over to their computers just to see what i might have written overnight...

seriously, where are the intelligent people who would recognize the priceless value of reading me?...

more pop complaints

of course there is plenty to complain about in the crap extra and tmz puts on tv (at least tmz mocks itself, i mean, extra seems to take the crap seriously, like the inner thoughts of celebrities is serious news, but then, serious news is even worse crap these days... ignrance is american...

and i really thought sandra bullock was a smarter girl, but then, she did fall in love with a divorsed redneck macho man who's first wife was a porn star (who is not suing him for custody of their kid, real news, right), so i probably should have had a clue (as if i took meeting her seriously, right and the arbitrary nonsense is epitomized by th glorification of kate, who exploited her kids while her husband was vilified for not being as photogenic or cooperative with the cameras and the public sodomizing (figuratively speaking) of the octomom who doesn't even have a name just because she was poor and involved in a fertility doctor's medical mistake...

ambulance chasing lawyers, lying money-milking doctors, exploitation news reporters, and everyone falls in line in pop america only proving that absolute power corrupts people from power money celebrity hungry women who opened their legs for married men who travel around scoring one night stands because the women make it so easy for the men with brains in their penises (and claim they were in love abd deserve sympathy, i mean, they are pitifully transparent, but they chose to spread their legs and they chose to seek the celebrity by prostituting their story for the pop news media) to the men who are so rich that rules and rights and wrongs are meaningless from sex to bombing children to selling drugs under the guise of improving health (so why is there a war on drugs again?)...

but can you put on a little more make-up, i mean, i think i can still see just a sliver of the real you showing through...

and is hollywood taking bets on how long before heather locklear's twelve year old daughter is knocked up?... stoking down the runway with little boys throwing nickles up on the stage... sell that sex girl it may be all you have to offer the world, after all... or are you gonna be a big rock star? (i'll take my nickle back if you do, cha)...

i do miss theatre people though... real working performers busting gut and sweating it out on stage hour after hour in rehearsals and night after night (and matinees), now that is talent i respect... yeah, i know better than everyone, which is why i have the tv on so i can glance up and find all this crap to mock and complain about when i have nothing else do do before craig ferguson comes on to mock all the crap for me...

ATT: too big for it's britches

there are so many different departments, in fact, different companies all under the ATT umbrella all offering different services that the management has lost control and costumer service has fallen apart at ATT...

over the years i've had accounts swallowed up and terminated by ATT and ATT/Yahoo simply because they were duplicate accounts or because ATT could not integrate my accounts properly... I no longer use Yahoo for any services due to their mishandling my accounts creating a situation that sends hundreds of messages a day to my ATT accounts and no one at ATT or Yahoo are able to stop it because the emails are coming from groups I created at a service called FindMail in the 90s... FindMail was bought out by eGroups which was bought out by Yahoo which merged with ATT somehow and when they merged, i lost access to all my Yahoo accounts, including all the email groups that are sending emails... I used to play fantasy sports at Yahoo as well and no longer do for the same reason, I cannot access my account and so i've ignored a half dozen fantasy sport requests from friends this spring...

but the SPAM Yahoo sends through my ATT email is the least of my issues as I simply auto-delete it all... the people in the groups probably long since have written me off as a flake group owner who does not respond to their concerns or complaints... my primary concern is that ATT suspended my web pages so i can not access pages i've had on the web for more than 10 years... trusted for safe-keeping as personal web pages to ATT... do not trust any web service that encourages you to store anything on their services, keep your stuff on your computer and back up drives...

they said i had until march 31 to save my pages, but tonight i find them suspended... and of course support is not available this late...

the last time i called support, just four days ago (when my web pages were still working), it took them eight hours and dozens of transfers to get me to the right department to give me the new POP3 and SMTP addresses... eight hours of jumping through phone hoops for a two minute fix...

that was because nobody knew who was doing what in the various companies that is now all under the ATT umbrella and accessed through a nightmarish automated phone tree that has no clue where to route customers calling in... ATT has simply gotten too big to manage good customer service... so typical of corporate USA and why the country is going down the tubes fast... just check and you'll find statistics like 17 countries have better high school graduation results than the USA...

anyway, though i've explained my issues to dozens of ATT CSRs and a few ATT managers, this is the epitome of meaningless complaint as they are too disconnected, disorganized, and way too big to ever hear it...

you think you've got a complaint?

i almost came here to complain about the office, but then, that would be ignorant (bullsugar, even) as i've only seen one episode and that was in the background anyway, but tv has been extremely disappointing and people even moreso in so many ways (thank goodness for a few crazy friends, aye?), but all the nonsense of hysterical ridiculousness aside, this is a complaint...



maybe it was the music...

caprica

the saddest thing about caprica might be that they are eventually going to glorify the judeo-christian-muslin god after introducing the concept of a monotheistic god with sarcastic scorn in phrases like ”a moral dictator called god” blamed for leading kids to terrorist acts and instead of seeing the truth in the words, people will praise the glorification of that very moral dictator concept that has been the root cause of more death and destruction in this world than any other human-made concept in the history of human-kind…

or is the attraction to the show the titillating concept of a seductively pliable fifteen year old girl touched innocently (and often) because she is in a robot body and nobody knows she is really in there as they admire her chest and tinker with her crotch… while in a simultateous scene another teenage girl is repairing a motorbike while semi-flirting with a adult-looking teenage boy who’s job it was to fix that bike and the engine goes vroom vroom as they innocently touch hands and smile…

or perhaps the child will lead us concept as the carrot is that the same nubile fifteen year old innocent dancing seductively with a boy without him or anyone seeing her (because she's trapped in a robot and nobody knows, of course) actually has some secret answer that even she doesn't know quite yet... could it be the secret to immortality as she has figured out a way to put human's mind and personality (and don't forget spirit and soul) into a robot?... oooo, back to the whole moral dilemma thing again, aye?)...

or is the attraction the oldest moral dilemma of all (in modern recorded history, that is, i mean, since the jewish bible started), the old ways against the new ways as a very jewish appearing race is made out to be poor hard working hard core eye-for-an-eye religiously superstitious, secretive, and organized-crime powerful while the white-bread waspy-looking actual rich power brokers of the culture are clueless as to their money-changing corruptions and lead of moral fiber as they take technology into a virtual world where anything goes because there is no responsibility because ot the presumptious that nothing is real and nobody really gets hurt and nobody really dies…

but did they really have to made the eastern-indian looking kid the innocent misguided mad bomber?... and it’s ok, right, because he believed in the one-god concept… and do they have to play on the stereotype of the outrageously emotionally driven thoughtless acts of bereaving mothers only to make those same mothers some sort of heroes by convoluting their actions and slithering version of love into ridiculously unrealistic gestures of generosity that somehow make their stupidity and rash actions ok?...

I wonder how long I’ll want to know how the story turns out before I get too bored or simply too repulsed by the ignorance underlying the messages behind the story… and laughing, naturally, I wonder how many of you follow anything i've said here...

I suppose I need to know more about battlestar gallactica now, though the same sour taste that I could not pinpoint turned me off to that story after watching it for a little while… and suddenly i have this powerfully giggling errily puzzling secretly smiling deja-vu feeling... irony?...

or course I don’t recall the fifteen year old girl angle in that one…

yeah, smirk and giggle and narf as I use libido to keep my own attention while mocking and perhaps even condescending to those who do, or something like that, aye? :)

barf? lol :)

real time viral madness (created by the human virus)

you are under constant attack

my top of the line anti-virus program released it’s latest virus protection file update at 19:25 today including every new threat identified up until 15:53 today… as of 19:25, the time it took the updated protection file to be processed and released, there were 252 new threats identified that will be in tomorrow’s updated protection file…

252 new viruses before the top-of-the-line virus protection company can even get their latest update to their customers… 252 new viruses trying to steal or destroy something of yours… created by people… an average of 17,000 new viral threats each day created by humans… every five minutes the human virus spawns another cyber virus…

so as a species, are we more creative or destructive?...

everybody wants to fuck tiger's pussy

yeah, that's right, i said it as simply and bluntly and truthfully and plainly as words can do it... and of course everybody is a superlative exaggeration for emphasis, but the news media certainly act as though everybody wants and needs to know and talk about and tittilate and anger and disgust and amuse themselves compaining about all the pussy tiger got... self-righteous hypocrits pretending to have some right to invade a family's privacy and beat up on a perceived weakness as if it's some moral duty and noble virtue and not simply commercial television selling products and gossip as news (and news is a product to sell too)...

how can any truly honest honorable member of the fourth estate, the supposed noble keepers of the truth and news of the world that really matters in our lives, information that is important to peace and prosperity and happiness and security and humanity... how can they, with a straight face, pretend some sanctimonious commandment compels them to strip a man psychologically and emotionally naked against his will, quite literally rape a man publically in every way except bodily... how can these smiling faces pretending to care about us and every hero as long as they are on top winning do it?...

because they are lying hypocrites, that's how...


news is mostly gossip and the talking heads are masturbating for you, drooling idiots playing on your most primal fears and insecurities and prejudices and ignorance... giving you the literary representation of dirty laundry so you can feel like you are a rose... they might as well just start and end the news with just look at all this shit, now don't you feel better?...

but back to tiger's pussy...

do i think promising to be monogamous and then hiding the fact that you are not living monogomously from the person you promises is right?... no, but that does not give me the right to judge anyone else, no less to hound, stalk, and do everything possible to publically humiliate anyone else... am i defending tiger's decision to sleep around without asking his wife if an open marraige was ok with her?... no, but that does not make me or anyone else the sudden protector of tiger's family...

i'm surprised there haven't been cartoons or allusions to tiger with a bloody knife in his hand or jokes about finding a glove on his lawn... that would sure sell the news, wouldn't it?... and let's not pretend that tearing down a blank man married to a white model is not part of the corrupt lying american psyche...

and what's it about, cheating?... no way, everybody cheats all the time... you return every dollar you find on the street or are given as extra change at a store or even try to?... you look for every deduction on your tax returns, even the stretched ones?... how old are you, really?... do you tell?... do you do everything you say you are going to do every time?... you never lie?... and even if everybody does not cheat or lie sometime (we can pretend there are perfect people in the world), who really cares about how tiger's wife feels?... did you care the day before you were told by publicity hungry gold diggers that they willingly spread their legs for a married man (as if tiger was the first and they were somehow pure and innocent until they met him)?... you probably didn't even know her name...

no, it's the puritanical fear of your own bodies, it's your stupid fear of sexuality that has you all on the edge of your seat oogling every word and image of tiger and his harem... it's your secret wish to be like him too (yeah boys, pretend that's not true all you want, the locker room knows better)... it is your fear of sex and the hypocritical condemnation of sexuality... condemn it all you want, but you pay big money to watcch it at the movies and what is selling you all the crap you buy?...

sex...

if you had an ounce of honest common sense, you'd get past your fear of nudity and sex not just cuz it is stupid, but because it condemns you and everyone, most espectially women and children, to abuse and death...

people who are so afraid of sex that they cannot become aroused when the relationship is anywhere near equal or when there is any mature acknowledgement of the sexual act become perverts, rapists, child molesters, and worse... that way they don't have to overcome their fear of openly sharing an equal physical relationship where they don't have all the power and they don't have to risk a partner with experience asking for more than they can give physically, emotionally, or any way...

people who are so afraid of sex become control freaks and moral activitists butting into everyone else's life as a way of avoiding the lack of intimacy in their own... condemning others and complaining on tv and the internet fills the time and distracts them from the emptiness in their lives because they are afraid of intimacy...

it is the fear that creates the pain and suffering and madness... not the sex... but then, you'd have to be less afraid than you are to know that... your reaction to this entry will let you know just how afraid of sex you are...

and tiger?... he's just the latest car accident you've stopped to gawk at... the latest soap opera you escape into... the latest exploited celebrity you love to tear down... if it makes you feel better about yourself to jump on the judgmental bandwagon, that is sad...

you just want tiger to bend over for you...

does that make you feel better?...

it does make you a peeping tom...

how dare he?... how dare you...

barf.

food

i'd like to complain about food... but perhaps it is not food that is the real culprit deserving of this complaint... perhaps it is, or are, to be more grammatically correct, taste buds... cuz it is not the food that magically jumps into my mouth and fills my belly and gives me that seriously stuffed ready to explode feeling... the hands actually move the food, but the hands are not the primary culprit either...

ok, so food is only partially culpable and hands are accomplices, integral to the crime, or complaint, I mean, I am complaining here, not accusing, right?... so what am I doing again?... oh yeah, complaining about food… and hands… and most of all, the taste buds that lead the hands (who don’t have minds of their own, you know) to pick up the foods and stuff my face…

so ok, I am feeling bloated again… and have 40 pounds to lose, or at least 30… find time to sleep so the body can exercise more (time, when is there time, I want to complain about time, or the lack of it, but no, not this time, this time I am complaining about food, and hands, and taste buds, yeah, that’s right)…

maybe I should complain about kisses, or the lack of kisses, but that’s another complaint… of course if someone was seriously into kissing me the way I can get into kissing, there’s be a lot less time for the mouth to receive the food and the taste buds would have a wonderful distraction (and the hands would probably be occupied as well, but the kissing would be the best way of all to cut back on the taste bud addition that corrupts the hands and lays the blame on food)... hey, did you think every complaint would defy the title of this blog?...

the food is innocent, really… poor food…

narf…

a study of humanity (part 4)

grilled breakfast sandwiches, a glimpse of the end of the road for toyota, internet porn, football player proselytizers, fried dead cow patties on buns, preachers arrested for soliciting prostitutes, curdled cow fat on baked bread, 12 year old girls handcuffed and carted out of school for doodling, do unto others as you want them to do, sugar and fat and flour baked with chocolate, excitement over finding video of the challenger exploding, fear the loving god, fried anything, hypocrisy and mental illness everything, and you were distracted by the accident you saw on the way to church… which gets the biggest rise out of you... and why...

what a waste of the potential of the human brain…

humans believe in can’ts and weakness and hate and above all else, fear more than anything else, so they consume delusional explanations and irrational hypocrisy because everybody else does and communal delusions present a placebo to quell the fears…

what a waste of the potential of human life…

meanwhile, if you can get past the depression that such realization can bring, you just might find the amusements available to the awakened mind in this experience of life in this universe…

staring up at the stars each night, do you realize that many of them are not really there because they went supernova (blew up) millions or even billions of years ago?... all you see are the light, like messages in bottles, that was sent out in all directions before humans ever walked on this planet, in some cases, before this planet was even here…

and if that concept does not amuse you, how about the fascination with female breasts?... is it some infantile imprinting that draws most human males to sexual arousal when presented with huge mammary glands, the bigger the better, and yet, most of the same human males are repulsed by fat on most any other part of the female body (though buttocks fat seems to draw an audience)… belly fat, however or neck fat or leg fat, now that is considered unattractive…

but the fat puzzle is not nearly as puzzling (or titillating, perhaps) as the fascination with innocence, virgins, young flesh just a few years past puberty or closer, even… just look at the popular arts, film, tv, music, and if you pretend you don’t see the sexualization of children that sells so well, you may be among the majority of hypocrites condemning in public what you crave and even do in private…

and then there is the phenomenon of legalized poisons, big business and popular pastimes, while condemning and imprisoning and fighting a war on other poisons, some of which are a lot less harmful than your legal poisons… how much money, time, energy, and human life is spent on buying and using the legal poisons and still more money, time, energy, and human life spent on fighting and jailing those who choose the illegal poisons… you need to be irrational and delusional to make sense of it…

all the while, children starve all over the world… earth’s resources and human energy is wasted while children die of starvation and greed and power trips all over the world… from the wealth in the land of the free where children suffer as pawns in divorce, as playthings for adults who want to control anything they can or for priests and parents who condemn their own sexuality while failing to repress their sexual attraction to their children… to the poverty of countries oppressed and condemned by the wealthy nations to remain ignorant and behind the times because we can’t have too many countries equally powerful, especially when they don’t believe in the same delusions and ways of perceiving life and the universe and the unknown that we buy into…

few want to see that the the rich choose to let the poor starve, physically and mentally, while pushing spirituality on them as the answer to all the problems the rich create and ignore… the rich do not want to see it because they do not want to share or lose what they have… the poor don’t want to see it because who wants to face their own powerlessness and abuse…

what a study of humanity shows is that as long as there is the slightest illusion of control, of choice (and what is our cheap consumer culture if not a feast of choice), then the poor are placated and the imbalanced delusions that facilitate oppression can continue… because the fear of loss of control is more powerful than the unpleasantness and cruelty of poverty and illness and suffering of any kind…

if this is pessimistic, prove me wrong...

politics

i do not want to be a democrat or a republican or any blind faith follower of any party or anything... i seldom listen to any politician and seldom listen to or watch the news because i sense a bias so obvious and an agenda so hypocritical and full of subtrifuge that want to puke just thinking that we the people accept the ignoarance they assume we must have... i want to believe that i actually hear what these people are saying...

tonight i hear a president saying some things that made sense and wondered if he would have any influence at all on the politics as usual... watching the ridiculous posing of the congres people and senators, the standing ovations and the seated silence based on party affiliation and obviously not based on what may or may not be right, i wondered why the president did not call all of them out for the hypocrits and posers they were...

so is the president any different?...

not much, he played the same game... and well... but still, in the end, the president gave me a good feeling, a hopeful feeling that maybe something might actually change in washington to bring more fairness and justice to this country... and then i listened to ten minutes of cliche and rhetoric and negativity under the viel of smiling doublespeak, subtle inferences that the president did not say what he just said, carefully phrased juxtapositions suggesting that the president actually said the opposite of what he just said, out and out political campagning that had nothing to do with anything, and meaningless pandering to people's base fears from the republican rebuttal and realized there is very little if any hope for truth or justice in the american way today...

so sad, i hope i don't put myself through this again anytime soon...

same complaint, different day...

it's about time, naturally... that is, not enough time . . . .

if there is one single complaint that rises above all the rest in frequency and annoyance (if only due to frequency, though it does fuel almost every other complaint as well because, with more time, most of the other complaints could be resolved fairly easily), then it is not having enough time to do all the things i want to do... so there it is, the whole world, life, and everything resolved in a single complaint...

now if there was only some all-powerful, omniscient, omnipresent force or being with consciousness, compassion, and true, honest, unconditional, and active love (cuz love is a verb or it's just a word after all, word.... oh, aren't we so clever, narf) for me enough to resolve the time complaint...

ah, yes, now if there was only some all-powerful, omniscient, omnipresent force or being with consciousness, compassion, and love for us enough to resolve the time complaint...

ah, yes, lol...

narf.

no time to complain

yes, there's plenty to complain about, but there's no time to complain, so that's the complaint, no time to complain, ironic?... you'll just have to visit the archives for more meaningless complaints if you want to read more meaningless complaints because tonight, and recently, and most of the time, there's no time to complain, dangit, no time to complain...

blog names

the irreverence of the title of this blog may have been tainted by an entry or two along the way cuz it is possible that an occasional meaningful complaint might slip out of my head and that in itself may be fodder for a future complain as valid as any, but on the other hand, with even the most profoundly meaningful complaint or story or thought or anything, if nobody ever reads it, how meaningful can it be... rhetorical questions aside, this complaint is about the shameless waste of great blog names...

imagine, if you will, a blog named IMAGINE... seriously, would that not be a perfectly exquisite challenge for anyone interested in writing a blog?... especially a blog that has some imagination...

imagination, you say?... you see, it seems that back in 2000 when blogger began, some clever kids stopped by with the idea of creating a blog and they scooped up some of the absolutely most bestest blog names and then, NEVER USED THEM...

yes, shouting in bold, this obviously strikes the blogger's nerve...

people come along and kill great ideas and leave them for others to trip over, like so many dead bodies on the web, and we can do nothing with the corpses except ignore them...

later, i may expand on this as i am searching for some blog names for new blogs (yes, more new blogs... cuz every idea deserves a blog, even the not so great ones... thing is, the idea and the blog must CONTINUE dangit... unless, of course, the blog writer dies and did not make arrangements for anyone to have the password to continue, or at least pass the blog on to someone who wants to continue)...

NEW RULE!... in order to create a blog, every blogger must create an entry scheduled for five years in the future... that entry must contain the bloggers current and valid user name and password to that blog... if the scheduled date is approaching and the blogger is still alive and active, the scheduled date should be changed to another future scheduled date so that when the blogger does finally die or abandon the blog name, another can continue the blog or use the name (under stipulation that the previous incarnation of blog with that name is preserved in archives)... yes, this is the first rule of blogging in the universe...

i'll let you know when my universe opens...

worse than wasting the name are the bloggers who did not leave comments on when they abandoned their blogs... so no one can leave a comment encouraging them to use the blog or beg for transfer of the name to someone (like me) who wants to use the name... shameful waste, typical of humans who must have the lowest level of insight and forethought, not to mention awareness, conscious or not, and imagination, of any sentient species in any universe (though the vogons and a few others could possibly have humans beat in some areas)...

yes, even the promising title musings from the imagine nation (circa 2004) is empty, a clear sign of the void between human ears (you do see how this particular complaint can rant on indefinitely and grow into a series of books based on the foibles and carelessness of bloggers, no less writers and nomenclature specialists (and amateurs) everywhere, don’t you?… shhhhh, don’t tell anyone cuz they’ll steal the idea and make millions and not even thank me with a based on the idea by… credit or a percentage of the gross… so I hereby and forthwith copyright all creative writes to the concept, idea, thought, and any tangible production of the flow of words that could be based on (however loosely) this initial complaint (this claim to rights is all inclusive, that is to including book, magazine, graphic novel, film, movie, internet, ebook, music, painting and art in any medium, and bathroom reading rights and not excluding any rights that I did not list here)…

meanwhile, back in the stupid waste of great blog name wars (not to be confused with star wars, which I lay no claim to), even the unknown bianca (who I do not believe to be a breath freshening product), left the modified imagine-nation (the hyphen has saved many a great blog name from obscure death) to fallow and squander in oblivion since 2005… what may be an even more frightening sign of the emptiness between human ears is that I was just the twelfth (yes, 12th) person even looking to use the blog name since it was so carelessly killed by the one simply known as bianca…

it just gets worse the more you look… even the precious name imagina (which has so many wondrous {and devious} possibilities on so many levels, even if your name is not gina) was absconded back in 2001 by a spaniard! no less (or at least someone writing in what appears to be some sort of Spanish looking language), which was clearly a warning from the princess bride not headed in the blogosphere by jules rimet, IF that is his real name and photo (and don’t let his name fool you, he is obviously a spaniard by any measure of the imagina) so brazenly flaunting his minimal use of the name (not to mention his obvious distain for any english speaking audience in his deliberate choice to avoid using the blogger translation feature)… of course if there is cleverness sprinkled through his few hundred entries he might be forgivable, especially if he is still living and willing to turn over the great name to someone who can make sufficient mockery use of it… but since he almost commits the criminal sin of abandonment without linkage or commentary (note the broken link in the most recent entry), forgiveness might take some groveling, naturally, however I did find a sneakily hidden link to comments just above the title of his entries that allowed me to leave a comment (which I courteously translated into Spanish for him using free translator service which is part of the wonderful free language services offered by itools.com, proud sponsor of meaningless complaints, this free complaint blog you are reading, even if they don’t know it yet, even if you are not reading it yet)… not to mention the double and triple entendres, aye?...

yes, I know

and now, like any good dog chasing it’s tail, or tale, for that matter, we’ll leave imaginea alone for the moment (in spite of the brazen theft of the name of my home continent, but that’s another story... i was at least able to simply leave a comment, though in what language i'd have had to translate it, well... as i said, we'll leave these complications for another time), though surely goodness and mercy and more is bound to follow in this theme, at the moment I will upload this entry and move along to the next distraction in my adhd journey through life, liberty, and the pursuits of whatever comes along…

may we enjoy our complaints, for at times, they are all we have…

social status

so i'm flipping through tv stations and find there is a movement in florida to create county level council on the social status of black men and boys meeting in the office of the attorney general in orlando, florida... have we made any real mind-set or perspective progress since the civil war in the south?...

a group who's mission is to look for and point fingers, look for weaknesses, and shout unfair for black men and boys?... is this legitimate affirmative action (affirm is a positive term, right?) or is it a veiled way of castrating men and boys in and of itself?... is the perspective to pity and organize people to help black men and boys because they can't effectively take care of themselves?...

people are so tied up in social status, so in love with the victim mindset, so kind to similarities and opportunities to bridges gaps and come together, so comfortable with segregation and pity parties and pointing fingers... so what we've got is a group of mostly very overweight people trying to find money (and justification to get the money) from government (taxes) to get some excitement going to organize local groups with a purpose of studying the social status of black men and boys...

the chairperson of this council is the Director, Office of Supplier Diversity, Department of management Services... is this bureacracy gone made or a real need seeking a real solution for a real problem?... perhaps the underlying source of the concerns is the very attitude that black men and boys need local government groups to promote their social status, inherently setting black men and boys apart as inferior and "needing help" based solely on race and gender...

not racism?...

i wish people would stop judging people based soley on race or gender... but that is the culture we live in and the people in power support it because it keeps the majority of people in divided social groups feeling needy with a hand out for help instead of empowered and united as human beings...

sigh...

happy new year, you're dead

military intelligence


once again tragedy caused by human stupidity brings me to yet another meaningless complaint... it was bad enough that the father of the nigerian boy who was able to get on a plane and nearly blow the plane up called and warned his government and the usa cia about his son who basically told his father 'goodbye' as in 'i will never see you again' (a suicide note type conversation), which did get his son on the usa 'watch list' for possible terrorists (along with 500,000 other potential terrorists), but the security machines, homeland security, the cia, and so on did nothing and the plane would have blown up if the kid knew what he was doing with explosives...

military intelligence may be the ultimate oxymoron...

as is the pattern, the paranoid war hawks who support the big business of war (because it's good for the bottom line and pays for their luxuries which they naturally deserve because they work so hard to protect us from threats they ignore and if we look deeper, actually created in the first place... but most people appear to be may be too stupid to see the obvious) are screaming about limiting our rights and invading our provacy all the more because the only solution they see is totalitarianism and they use terrorists to inch us toward their supreme rule over us... and we are too stupid to call them on their incompetence and fire them... i mean, if you hired a doctor to monitor your heart and he saw a potential danger on your eekg and took no action and you had a heart attacke, you'd not only fire that doctor, but you'd sue him (because lawyers have you trained like salivating dogs to sue doctors)... but the people we pay to protect us hear about potential threats, do nothing, and something like 9-11 happens and what do we do?... we buy the excuses the leaders ell us and rally round the flag and spend trillions of dollars (that we borrow from the chinese and others who are quitely taking over our country economically) on wars that no one can win and ultimately, just fuel the differences between nations and delusional systems of belief that are fundamentally the same...

we won't even get into the voice of reason, rush limbaugh, who is a self-confessed drug addict (rush, a junkie?... never, he's too rish, well connected, and conservative to be looked down upon as most other drug addicts are), or how many people live and die by his word (that he transmits into our lives through a gold-plated microphone) as if it is gospel because we must exhalt and respect and trust a junkie (excuse me, self-confessed drug addict) who can't even control his own self-destructive impulses... alas, further digression, let's get back to the point...

so today the smartest and most important intelligence agents we've got, the ones we sent to the source of our hate and fear, behind the lines to 'enemy territory' to 'protect us', these most trusted military intelligence agents let someone walk into their heavily guarded private secure headquarters and BLOW THEM UP...

yes, i just had to scream...

channelling sam kennison...

and now we'll probably rally round the flag and point fingers at the 'enemy' that we created by abusing our power all over their world for a hundred years because we could, and they had stuff we wanted... still do, actually... what?... what right do they have to hate us or fight us for taking their stuff and telling them their faith in their god is wrong?... would most of you not hate and fight me if i took your stuff and told you quite simply that your faith delusion in your god invisible man in the sky is wrong?... ah yes, dander may be up now... whatever would humans do without an enemy?... believe this (or deny it, but it is the reality you live even if you refuse to see it)... humans are so afraid to love, they must create reasons to hate... and all in the name of the invisible all-powerful man in the sky that they actually mock by preaching love and living hate... but i may digress (what, again?)...

how stupid can people get?...

and when we blow ourselves and this planet to smithereens (do you believe smithereens is heaven?), will there be a god who could have stopped us but let us destroy it all there to welcome us into whatever idyllic place you might imagine and forgive us for our self-destruction for we are just poor frail stupid humans who know not what we do?...

what a waste...

personally, i think you are just playing dumb...
